| Aanvullende informatie |
Klippingar — square or irregularly clipped copper pieces — were an emergency measure to meet Sweden's chronic shortage of small change during Gustav II Adolf's aggressive military campaigns in northern Europe. The Säter and Nyköping mints both produced this type in 1626–27, and attribution between the two remains genuinely difficult; neither facility was rigorous about mint marks on copper klipp of this denomination.
Sweden's copper coinage of this period was directly tied to the Falun mine output, and the crown's policy of monetizing raw copper kept denominations heavy and unwieldy. At nearly 50 grams, this 2 öre piece was closer in weight to a tool than a coin.
